I sprinkled birdseed on top of the snow and the birds just loved it!
We finally got our birdfeeder hung. Auntie Margie and Uncle Robert (from Toronto, Canada) gave it to us back in 2005, but we finally got it hung, and in style! Isn't that a cool way to hang it? I love that wrought iron hanger. We can see it nicely from the kitchen, so I got a few pictures of the pretty birds as well. Sorry about the blinds being in most of these pictures! I guess I need to raise them before the birds arrive. The would have flown away this time.
Apparently, the birds are ground-feeders. They'd rather not eat at the bird feeder, so I have to go out and spill it out of the beautiful spill-resistant feeder for them. =) I put some seed up on top of the trash cans to see if I can get them closer to the feeder. From the top of the trash cans, it's just about 18 inches to the feeder, so maybe they'll see it and realize there's more food up there. =) Baby steps... (If you haven't seen the movie, "What About Bob," that's where the "baby steps" quote is coming from. Go rent it and don't have any compassion for the psychiatrist - you'll enjoy it more that way. It's really funny.)

hey bro, your John Deer's not going to last long if you keep forgetting to put it in the barn every time you have a monster storm.
We winterized it where it sits, so we should be okay. =)
Guess all the ice & snow is staying south for the winter! We haven't had any! Cute bird friends!
You remind me of Grandad and how he always enjoyed feeding the birds. I think you need to put some peanuts in the shell out on your trashcans so you can start feeding squirrels too! Remember those black squirrels up in Canada? Grandad had that one that he always referred to as Blackie, remember?
